The Xperia X10 from Sony Ericsson is to arrive in Canada Q2 of 2010. The handset will be an exclusive to carrier Rogers. So if you’re hoping to get your hands on the X10, are you willing to switch carriers if not already on Rogers? The Xperia X10 will be the first Android powered handset released by Sony Ericsson. Elsewhere in the world, the expected release date of the handset is February, within Q1.
While many of us stand and admire the photos of the upcoming Xperia Vulcan and Rachael, Canadian consumers are just getting to grips with the Xperia X1 subsidized by Rogers. Smartphonenation have received a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 from Rogers and have the photos and video to prove it. Many may already have their Xperia X1 but, nothing beats the feeling of seeing a great handset emerge from the packaging for the first time for it’s first use.
A bit sooner than expected, which can only be a good thing, the Xperia X1 is now available for Canadian consumers on the Rogers network. It was previously soft launched in various stores on June 9th, with a full launch set for 30th June.
The handset is available to purchase from their website and we now have the prices for contracts less than 3 years. On a 3 year contract with Rogers the Xperia will set you back $250. If you opt for a two year contract, the handset is almost twice the price at $450. The handset can also be purchased with a 1 year contract and will cost $550, but for $50 you can buy the handset out right.
Rogers have soft launched the Xperia X1 in Canada, with a full launch coming at the end of the month. The handset had previously been rumoured to cost between $649 and $749, or $299.99 with a three year contract. It seems we now have the price of upgrading to the handset on the Rogers network. A tip has been sent in to Engadget, which states through picture, that the pricing for an upgrade could be $499.99, at it’s lowest. It could even go to $524.99. No official word from Rogers on whether the higher price is for when it’s fully launched or if the amount varies depending on your previous usage.
Canadian network provider Rogers, is set to launch Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X1 in June. It will initially be released on June 9th in selected stores qualifying for the “soft launch”. Stores with high data sales will take part in the soft launch, while for consumers not in those store areas, Rogers will launch the phone fully on June 30th.
The phone will be available for between $649 and $749 without a contract. Getting the phone on a three year contract will bring the price down to $299.99, or $249.99 if you purchase it during the introductory promotion.
